The plan is to launch the B330 module into low lunar orbit by the end of 2022 to serve as a lunar depot in support of returning to the moon, Bigelow said in a news release. The depot would serve commercial interests "in addition to offering NASA and other governments the Moon as a new exciting location to conduct long-term exploration and astronaut training," company president Robert Bigelow said.

The company envisions the lunar outpost as a place to conduct long-term exploration and astronaut training.

The B330 expandable module would launch on a ULA Vulcan 562 rocket. Once it's in orbit, Bigelow would equip the outpost, it said.
